Time Stamp said: " Science needs Spirituality"

No... some people need various forms of Spirituality to help them cope with the vagaries of life. Spirituality seems to have no one really explicit form, but is merely a generic way to express our wondering about the "why" of existence.
Science is concerned more with "how", and mixing Spirituality into its process leads to confusion and distortion about supposedly 'scientific' inquiry.
It is possible for a person to be both scientific and spiritual, but it works far better if they keep the two concerns separated and do not use either one to justify or explain the other.
